MDS (Orthodontics) · Associate Professor · Consultant Orthodontist, V R Dental Kukatpally
Dr. Shiva leads orthodontic care at V R Dental, Kukatpally. With an MDS in Orthodontics and an academic post as an Associate Professor, he brings the depth of a teaching clinician to everyday patient care — the kind of seniority usually found in dental colleges rather than neighbourhood clinics.
⚠️ Before publishing: replace “Dr. Shiva” with the full name, add the dental college/university in alumniOf, the State Dental Council registration number, years of experience, and a professional photograph. These details strengthen both patient trust and Google’s assessment of expertise (E-E-A-T).
Specialist focus
Dr. Shiva’s clinical work is dedicated entirely to orthodontics — the branch of dentistry concerned with the position of the teeth and jaws. Where a general dentist treats a broad range of needs, an orthodontist spends years training specifically in how to move teeth safely and predictably, and in diagnosing why a bite has developed the way it has. That focus is what allows complex cases to be planned with confidence rather than guesswork.
- Metal, ceramic and self-ligating braces
- Clear aligner treatment for adults and suitable teenagers
- Correction of bite problems (malocclusion) — overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite
- Crowding, spacing and protruding front teeth
- Habit-related concerns such as tongue thrust and their effect on alignment
- Dentofacial orthopaedics and growth guidance in younger patients
Qualifications and academic role
Dr. Shiva holds a Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Orthodontics, the postgraduate specialist qualification in the field. Alongside clinical practice, he serves as an Associate Professor of Orthodontics, teaching and examining the next generation of orthodontists. An academic appointment of this kind is awarded on the strength of clinical experience, published or supervised work, and a thorough command of current evidence — which is exactly what you want behind a long-term treatment plan.
How orthodontic care works at V R Dental
At V R Dental, orthodontic treatment is led by Dr. Shiva and supported in-house by the clinic’s two resident MDS specialists — Dr. CH Vyshnavi (Prosthodontist & Implantologist) and Dr. Ram Mohan S (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon). This model gives patients the best of both worlds: a dedicated orthodontist directing the tooth movement, with prosthodontic and surgical expertise on hand whenever a case touches on restorations, missing teeth or the jaw. Day-to-day supervision and continuity of care mean there is always a specialist overseeing your progress between Dr. Shiva’s reviews.
Treatment philosophy
Dr. Shiva plans every case from proper records — digital scans, photographs and, where needed, X-rays — and explains the reasoning before any appliance is fitted. The goal is never simply teeth that look straight on the day the braces come off; it is a bite that functions well, teeth that are easy to keep clean, and a result that holds for years with sensible retention. Where a simpler or more conservative option exists, he will say so. There is no upselling and no pressure to proceed.
